If the parachute deceleration of a payload results in a large momentum transfer to the surrounding fluid over a relatively short distance, the resulting wake velocities may be large enough for the wake to overtake and collapse the parachute. This report describes an experimental test program aimed at investigating the aerodynamic interaction between the parachute and its wake. The test program involves examination of the transient loading on rigid two-dimensional circular arcs during their motion through a water-filled tow-tank The transient loads on circular arcs with included angles of 120, 180, and 240 dgreees were obtained by simultaneously measuring instantaneous pressure distributions and drag forces. The loads are reduced to a drag history which shows the variation of the drag coefficient with time for each circular arc.

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.
